Boredom

Well I say what I mean I say what comes to mind I never get round to things I'm living a straight, straight line You know me--I'm acting dumb You know the scene--very humdrum Boredom--boredom--boredom Now I'm living in a movie Which doesn't move me I'm the one waiting for the phone to ring Ring-a-ring-a-fucking-ding You know me--I'm acting dumb You know the scene--very humdrum Boredom--boredom--boredom Now there's nothing behind me And I'm already a has-been My future ain't what it was I think I know the words that I mean You know me--I'm acting dumb You know the scene--very humdrum Boredom--boredom--be 'dumb, be 'dumb I've taken this extravagant journey So it seems to me To arrive from nowhere And to go straight back there You know me--I'm acting dumb You know the scene--very humdrum Boredom--boredom--boredom --- Boredom - Buzzcocks and Martin Hannett
